Background of the Invention

Polyurethane is mainly used in the fields of leather finishing, textile printing, paper-making industry, architectural coatings and adhesives, etc. Since the coatings and paintings that sprayed on inner side and outer side of the walls, furniture or surface of metal utensils are directly or indirectly contacted with human, poisonous and harmful coatings threatens people's health all the time. Furthermore, since application field of coatings and paintings often contact with sunlight, and sunlight contains a lot of ultraviolet light that is harmful to colored object, these harmful ultraviolet light with a wavelength of about 290 nm to 460 nm changes the colour of coatings through oxidation-reduction in chemistry.

It is common to use dibutyltin dilaurate as catalyst to polymerize polyurethane, but since heavy metal will make damages to the environment as the polyurethane degradating, how to fix catalyzed remnant stannum of dibutyltin dilaurate and reduce damage caused by polyurethane coatings residues to the environment has become a technical problem.

In order to improve the light resistance of polyurethane resin, the method of adding UV absorber and antioxidants is often used, but the conventional synthetic antioxidants such as tert butyl hydroxyanisole, hydrogen peroxide tertiary butyl and tert-butyl hydroquinone and so on have great toxic side effect and carcinogenicity, and effect of adding organosilicon material to improve the waterproof effect in conventional is not satisfactory, therefore it is necessary to seek high-efficient and environment-friendly water and light resistance measures.

Like most of other polymer materials, polyurethane is not heat-resisting, and is easy to be ignited, it produces toxic gases which endanger personal and property safety.
